Wedding Shower Party

I gave a shower to my friend's son and his fiance which turned out really well. These photos show off the flower arrangement I used in the center of my island. Here is how you can get the same look. 

1. Put two smaller bowls in the punch bowl, one to prop up the apples and the other to hold florist foam for the flowers.
2. Arrange flower as desired. 
3. Place apples around the flowers in the center, propped up by the middle bowl.
4. As a filler you may choose to use a bow.

This is how to make a bow:

1. Leaving a tail, loop the ribbon the desired width around in a circular motion approximately 4 or 5 times.
2. Pinch together the center with wire and leave a tail on the other side. If the ribbon is too thick try cutting two small v's (but not cutting all the way through) to be able to pinch the ribbon tightly in the center.
3. Separate & twist each section of the loops as desired and cut the tail the same length of the original tail.
4. Make a smaller bow and wire it to the front of the larger bow.
5. In the middle twist a pearl necklace and secure it with wire to the center.
6. Attach a chopstick to the back of the bow with wire and tape. Prop the bow in the side of the flower arrangement.  

Me with my creation!
